How to use the refrigerator

Sufficient air circulation is required

for the proper operation of this

appliance. For this reason you are asked

not to cover the air circulation gaps

behind the shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).

Do not put hot food into the

refrigerator. Allow it to reach

room temperature naturally. In this

way the unnnecessary frost building

up can be avoided.

Foods odours can be

transferable, so it is essential to

put foods in closed dishes or wrap

them in cellophane, aluminium foil,

grease-proof paper or cling film

before placing them into the

refrigerator. This way foods will keep

their moisture e.g. vegetables will not

dry out after some days.

Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and

vegetables. There is a separator inside

the drawer that can be placed in different

positions to allow you to divide food if

necessary.

Air Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon

filter behind a flap in the rear wall of the

air distributing box.

The filter purifies the air from unwanted

odours in the fridge compartment

meaning that the storage quality will be

further improved.

Note: Always keep the air ventilation flap

closed.

The Refrigerator

Below is the recommended storage

positions for various food types:

1. Ready-cooked foods, fresh meat, cold

cuts.

2. Milk, dairy products.

3. Fruits, vegetables, salads.

4. Cheese, butter.

5. Eggs.

6. Yoghurt, sour cream.

7. Small bottles, drinks.

8. Large bottles, drinks.

9. Fish, meat, seafood

Fresh Box

The Fresh Box is located in the fridge

compartment. This is designed for the

best conservation of fresh food like fish,

meat, seafood because the tempereture

is lower here than in the rest of the fridge.

It is placed in the lower part, directly

above of the vegetable drawer.

If you wish to remove the compartment,

make sure to perform the following:

1 Open the refrigerator door as wide as

possible. If due to a limit stop or any other

14 electrolux

object you cannot open the door at an

angle of 180°, you should remove the

bottle shelf from the door.

2 Pull the LTC compartment towards

yourself and, upon reaching the end

point, slightly lift the front of the drawer to

remove it from the support frame.

3 For the removal of the support frame,

lift the back of the frame from its nest and

then pull it towards yourself. You can

remove both the frame and the drawer at

the same time by following Step 3.

When you want to restore the original

condition, repeat above steps in reverse

order.

Storage Times

The storage chart at the end of the

instruction book gives information on

storage times in the refrigerator

compartment. The storage times quoted

are intended as a guide only.

Do not cover the shelves with paper or

trays etc. as this will affect the air

circulation within the refrigerator

compartment.

Do not put hot foods in the

refrigerator, allow hot foods to reach

room temperature naturally before

placing in the refrigerator.

Cover foods, or place in closed dishes

before placing them in the refrigerator,

this prevents any transference of food

smells.

Storage Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator

compartment are adjustable to allow for

the storage of large items.

To re-arrange the shelves, open the door

to 90°.

electrolux 15

Use of the freezer compartment

The freezer is provided with the

symbol which means that it is

suitable for freezing fresh food and

for long term storage of frozen and

deep-frozen food.

Temperature regulation

The temperature may be regulated

between -15°C and -24°C.

We suggest setting the internal

temperature of approximately -18°C,

which guarantees proper freezing and

conservation of the frozen foods.

Attention!

A difference between the temperature

displayed and temperature setting is

normal. Especially when:

- a new setting has recently been

selected

- the door has been left open for a long

time

- warm food has been placed in the

compartment

A difference up to 5°C inside the

compartment is normal.

During normal functioning the indicator

shows the warmest temperature inside

the compartment.

Important

In the event of accidental defrosting,

for example due to a power failure, if

the power has been off for longer

than the value shown in the technical

characteristics chart under "rising

time", the defrosted food must be

consumed quickly or cooked

immediately and then refrozen (after

cooling).

Excessive temperature alarm

An increase in the temperature in the

freezer compartment (for example due to

an power failure) is indicated by:

electrolux 17

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids in the

freezer.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after

removal from the freezer can cause a low

temperature skin burn.

In the event of a power cut the food in the

freezer will not be affected if the power

cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not

open the door. Should the food begin to

thaw it must be consumed quickly and

must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and

Tips)

Do not remove items from the freezer if

your hands are damp/wet, as this could

cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer

burns.

Frozen Food Storage

When using for the first time or if the

freezer has been out of use for some

time, we advise you to run your appliance

for at least 2 hours before storing frozen

food.

Do not exceed the storage period

indicated by the manufacturer.

Do not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than is necessary.

You can to replace frozen products into

the basket(s) after freezing has finished.

This will allow you to make room in the

freezing compartment for other food.

Intermediate freezing does not

deteriorate foods already stored.

If large quantities of food are to be

stored, remove the baskets except the

lowest one from appliance and place

food on the shelves.

Removal of freezing baskets from

the freezer

The freezing baskets have a limit stop to

prevent their accidental removal or falling

out. To remove from the freezer, pull the

basket towards yourself and, upon

reaching the end point, remove the

basket by tilting its front upwards.

To put it back, slightly lift the front of the

basket to insert it into the freezer. Once

you are over the end points, push the

baskets back in their position.

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being

used, can be thawed in the fridge or at

room temperature, depending on the

time available. Small food items may even

be cooked from frozen, in this case

cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is thawed

accidentally should either be eaten as

Hints & T

ips

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or

bubbling sounds when the refrigerant

is pumped through the coils or tubing.

When the compressor is on, the

refrigerant is being pumped round and

you will hear a whirring sound or

pulsating noise from the compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor

and you will hear a faint 'click' when

the thermostat cuts in and out.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your

freezer:

Do not store warm food or evaporating

liquid.

Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot

store it straight away. The use of an

insulated container is advisable. When

you arrive home, place the frozen food

in the freezer immediately.

Do not push food together too much,

try to allow air to circulate around each

item.

Do not store food uncovered.

Ensure that food placed in the freezer

is dated and labelled and used in date

order to ensure that food is consumed

at its best.

Lean food keeps better and longer

than fatty food, salt reduces the

storage time.

Wrap the food in polythene or

aluminium freezing bags or foil so that

they adhere to the food and provide an

airtight seal.

Packaging which is swollen or has

traces of refrozen water droplets on

the pack could indicate that the

product has not been kept at a

suitable temperature and that it may

have lost its original quality. Partially

thawed food must not be refrozen, it

must be consumed within 24 hours.

Never exceed the storage times

indicated by the manufacturer.

Energy Saving Advice

Do not install the appliance close to

sources of heat, such as a boiler or

radiator.

Locate the appliance in a cool well

ventilated room and make sure that

18 electrolux

soon as possible, or thrown away.

Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and

has not been completely defrosted it can

be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must

never be refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes

1. Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full with cold

water, place in the freezing

compartment and leave to freeze.

2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or

hold it under running water for a few

seconds.

Never try to free an ice tray that is

frozen to the freezer compartment by

using pointed or sharp edged objects.

electrolux 19

then be refrozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: Should also be cooked and

refrozen as a fresh dish.

the air openings of the appliance are

not obstructed.

Avoid unnecessary frosting in the

cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into

airtight packages before placing them

in the freezer.

Food which is to be frozen (when cool)

should be placed in the fridge before

being transferred to the freezer.

Try to avoid keeping the door open for

long periods or opening the door too

frequently as warm air will enter the

cabinet and cause the compressor to

switch on unnecessarily often.

Ensure there are no obstructions

preventing the door from closing

properly.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the

storage of frozen foods, keep the door

closed. If the temperature within your

freezer should rise, do not refreeze the

food without checking its condition. The

following guidelines should assist you:

Ice Cream: Once thawed should be

discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be

cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen

without danger.

Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and

used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should

be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen

providing there are still ice crystals

remaining within them.

Small Joints: Should be cooked and can

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or

cleaning is carried out you must

DISCONNECT the appliance from the

electricity supply.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with

warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5

ml to 0.5 litre of water).
